Watch the Beauty of “A Year in New York” [Video]

Posted on: November 7th, 2011 by Elie

If this isn’t an homage to Gotham City, then we don’t know what is. Filmmaker Andrew Clancy shot a stunning video called “A Year in New York City” which captures everyday life on the streets of the city. Set to the tune “We Don’t Eat” by Irishman James Vincent McMorrow, we see plenty of eye candy, with visual shout-outs to the subways, bridges, tunnels, Central Park, Times Square, and Rock Center. Alas, there isn’t much footage of the Lower East Side.

Says Clancy of the project:

“Living in New York I’d grab my Canon 7D, or S95, and shoot footage of what was going on around me. It seemed like a never ending project and you could stay filming life in New York for a long time. But eventually I put my camera down and started to edit. Here’s the end result, it’s a bit rough and ready but that’s life in the Big Apple I guess.”

Our favorite part is when the song climaxes (4:02), synchronized with the visual complement of fireworks and Rangers fans going crazy. If interested, “We Don’t Eat” is available for free download over at Amazon.
